How a Heat Pump Will Keep You Warm All Winter Long

Many homeowners still associate heat pumps with cooling or mild-weather heating—but modern heat pump technology has completely changed that perception.
Today’s cold-climate heat pumps are built to deliver reliable, efficient warmth even during Ontario’s coldest winter months.
If you’re wondering whether a heat pump can truly keep your home comfortable all winter long, the answer is a confident yes.
Here’s how.
Designed for Cold Canadian Winters
Modern cold-climate heat pumps are engineered specifically to operate in freezing temperatures.
Even when outdoor temperatures drop well below zero, these systems continue extracting heat from the air and transferring it indoors.
Advanced compressors, improved refrigerants, and intelligent controls allow heat pumps to maintain consistent heat output during harsh winter conditions—making them a dependable choice for Ontario homes.
Consistent, Even Heat Throughout Your Home
Unlike traditional furnaces that cycle on and off, heat pumps run at variable speeds.
This allows them to deliver steady warmth rather than bursts of hot air followed by temperature drops.
The result is:
More even indoor temperatures
Fewer cold spots
Improved overall comfort
Your home feels warmer and more balanced all winter long.
Reliable Performance During Extreme Cold
Cold-climate heat pumps are tested to perform efficiently in sub-zero temperatures.
Many systems continue heating effectively at temperatures as low as –25°C or colder, ensuring dependable warmth even during Ontario cold snaps.
For added peace of mind, some homeowners choose a hybrid system, pairing a heat pump with a backup furnace for extreme conditions—providing maximum reliability without sacrificing efficiency.
Energy-Efficient Heating Without Sacrificing Comfort
Heat pumps don’t create heat through combustion—they move heat.
This makes them significantly more efficient than traditional heating systems.
Even in winter, a properly sized and professionally installed heat pump can:
Use less energy to maintain warmth
Reduce heating costs
Deliver comfort without excessive power consumption
Efficiency doesn’t mean less heat—it means smarter heat delivery.
Quiet, Comfortable Operation
Winter heating shouldn’t be loud or disruptive.
Heat pumps are known for their quiet operation, especially compared to older furnaces or baseboard heating systems.
Their smooth, variable-speed operation helps maintain warmth quietly and efficiently—perfect for bedrooms, living spaces, and home offices.
Works in Homes of All Sizes and Ages
Heat pumps are incredibly versatile.
Whether you live in:
An older home
A new build
A bungalow or two-storey house
A home with or without ductwork
There’s a heat pump configuration to suit your space.
With proper system design and installation, heat pumps provide dependable winter warmth in nearly any home.
Professional Installation Makes the Difference
The key to winter comfort with a heat pump is professional installation.
Proper sizing, placement, airflow design, and setup ensure your system performs efficiently—even in extreme cold.

Stay Warm All Winter with a Heat Pump
Heat pumps are no longer a seasonal or mild-weather solution—they’re a proven, reliable way to heat Ontario homes throughout the entire winter.
With modern technology, expert installation, and proper system selection, a heat pump can keep your home warm, comfortable, and energy-efficient no matter how cold it gets outside.
Appreciated a quick response to my request. Dave and Greg were very professional and made the experience seamless.
Very professional through the entire process. Installation and removel was done on a sloppy winter day, they put down runners on the floors and stairs and when they left, there wasn;t any sign of someone being in our house. Furnace works great as promised.
Dave was very pleasant to deal with and Twintech responded quickly when our furnace needed to be replaced ASAP. Installation was done on time and the crew were neat and tidy. We now have a great furnace that suits the needs of our family.
When your furnace kicks in over the holidays and you're not sure where to turn.. I'm so thankful that this company returned my phone call. I appreciated their transparency and clarity which allowed me to make an informed decision. With various quotes thrown at you, it can be difficult to make the right decision and trust the solutions offered by different companies. TwinTech spoke the truth and delivered on their word. Neat, timely and clean service; the peace of mind I needed during a very cold holiday season. I highly recommend them!
Pulling a old unit out and installing a modern heating system! Required drilling holes in the wall for the newer pipes. We went from 70% (I am willing to bet it was far less due to lack of maintenance and just old) to 96% newer . It now feels warmer and more pressure and we use to run extra heaters and feel as though they are not necessary!
I received three quotes before deciding to choose Twintech. Dave's prices was much more reasonable than the competitors. I most appreciated their honest recommendations. Others tried to oversell their products and services. Thank you Dave!
They had the best price and did a great job on the installation. Recommend them to anyone.
It was a amazing and professional high quality job
Friendly and very helpful representatives
Thank you for understanding my concern
And explain very well
Overall we pleased with your service

My 19 year old furnace stopped working when the cold weather hit in November, and I was left without heat. I interviewed several companies and found TWINTECH HEATING and COOLING to be very knowledgeable, quick to respond to my inquiries and very competitively priced.
Dave provided all of the information and pricing ahead of time and set up the appointment for the installation. Greg and Mitch arrived on time to do the installation and worked quickly and efficiently to complete the job.
After the completion of the installation, Dave followed up to ensure that everything was working well and that I didn't have any concerns.
Overall, this was a low-stress and flawless experience from start to finish. I would highly recommend TWINTECH HEATING and COOLING to anyone that requires a new furnace.
Our 20 year old furnace broke down during the first cold weekend this past November and our usual HVAC company never returned our phone call. Their loss, missing out on a sale since we didn't want to spend much fixing an old furnace and our 40 year old air conditioner was also long overdue for replacement. We proceeded in obtaining three different quotes for furnace and air conditioner replacement, and proceeded with the one we received from Twintech.
Dave was friendly, knowledgable and accommodating to our schedule and provided with us with a price that fell in the middle of the three quotes that we had. We felt that the Amana furnace and air conditioner he quoted us on were the best products and value offered to us and felt most comfortable with the professionalism and reputation of Twintech.
Greg, Grant and Mitch were at our house for installation the day after we decided to proceed. The guys were friendly and informative, the job was completed efficiently and workmanship appears excellent. Our house is certainly much more comfortable with the new two-stage variable speed Amana furnace compared to the old clunker! And, we're looking forward to enjoying the new air conditioner once summer rolls around again. Thanks Twintech!

We are very happy to recommend this company to everyone. Our furnace broke down on Sunday morning. We phoned them and before noon Grant the owner showed up. He worked on the furnace for about a hour not wanting to give up to fix the problem. The furnace was 17 years old. I was the one talking about replacing it. End result was the next day it was all done. On the Sunday Bob came over with heaters to warm up the house. We decided to replace the water heater at the same time. Thanks Grant for the excellent work. Thumbs up.
Right on time. Explained how to work the HRV in a different way so the house would not be so dry. Changed my whole house water filter for me as well. Friendly, helpful, caring service!
Very pleased with the professional service that TwinTech Heating and Cooling provided in replacing my furnace. I got several quotes from different service providers.

We were new homeowners in need of a second opinion. TwinTech Heating & Cooling were Amazing and professional. Very knowledgeable and great service all around. Recommend to anyone looking for honest and reliable services. Treated with respect and care. Thank you Greg, Mitch and Bob!
TwinTech is an excellent and honest company! I called them for a second opinion after being told by another company that I needed to replace my furnace. Turns out this was not the case at all! I did not need a new furnace. TwinTech did not push to make an unnecessary sale and saved me from a huge expense. Bob and Mitch were extremely professional and above all honest! I definitely recommend TwinTech!
